research statement

I write these words
great leaps of theory
all these thoughts that go unheard
from men greater than you or me

theory is metaphor and thus
this leaves me
free from worry

because I can choose my metaphor
and the idea now has a part of me
so I speak freely
telling people how I wish we could all be

good metaphor is hard, bad are easy
and, after all, greatness is subject to relativity
